请教PREP2008语法笔记中一道题

whitezt

212.(GWD-26-Q23)
Trans World Entertainment Corporation, which owns the Record Town and Saturday Matinee retail chains, announced that since sales of up to one-fourth of its stores are poor, they will be closed.

A.that since sales of up to one-fourth of its stores are poor, they will be closed

B.it is closing up to one-fourth of its stores, which accounted for its poor sales

C.it was closing up to one fourth of its stores because of poor sales

D.to be closing, on account of poor sales, up to one-fourth of its stores(C)

E.having poor sales, such that up to one-fourth of its stores will be closed

一般宾语从句的引导词that不可省略，但是正确选项的解释提到“如果宾语从句引导词that不补出，依然能使正常读者清晰断句，且announce后面常常不补出。”请问这是announce这个词独有的特质吗？还有那些动词后面也可以省略that？若是“宾语从句引导词that缺失”不能作为排除选项的标准，OG12中有很多题对错误选项的解释都提到要补出that。困惑ing。。。

看解释应该不是吧，不过第一个选项错得很明显，排除它不是问题。老美不会真出一些题目自抽耳光的，放心吧！
